Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging, especially with busy lifestyles and the many factors that impact metabolism and appetite. At Blume Skin & Body in Scottsdale, we offer medical weight loss solutions designed to help you reach your goals safely and effectively. Our approach combines the latest in prescription-based injections, known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, with personalized support, giving both men and women a proven path to long-term weight management.
What is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss refers to a physician-supervised program that uses prescription medications, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing monitoring to help individuals lose weight and improve their health. Unlike traditional diet plans, medical weight loss leverages advanced treatments such as GLP-1 receptor agonists – injectable medications that work with your body’s natural hormones to regulate appetite and support sustainable weight reduction.
These prescription-based injections are administered weekly and act on the brain’s appetite centers, helping you feel full sooner and reducing cravings. By supporting healthy eating habits and metabolism, medical weight loss programs can help you achieve results that are difficult to obtain with diet and exercise alone.
Benefits
Prescription-based medical weight loss offers more than just a slimmer waistline—it supports your health from the inside out. Many patients experience a noticeable reduction in appetite and fewer cravings, making it easier to make mindful, consistent choices around food. Weight loss with this approach is often more significant than what can be achieved through diet and exercise alone.
These treatments also provide important metabolic and cardiovascular benefits, helping improve overall wellness—not just appearance. And with once-weekly injections and personalized medical supervision, the process is both convenient and safe.
How It Works
Consultation:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Scottsdale office. During this visit, our experienced medical team will take time to understand your health history, current lifestyle, and weight loss goals. We’ll evaluate whether prescription-based injections are the right fit for your needs and discuss any potential contraindications to ensure your safety and comfort from the start.
Injections:
If it’s determined that the treatment is right for you, we’ll introduce you to weekly injections using a GLP-1 receptor agonist—an advanced medication that mimics natural hormones to help regulate appetite and blood sugar. These injections can help you feel fuller with smaller portions, making it easier to stay on track. Most patients administer them in the abdomen, and we’ll make sure you feel confident with the process before you begin.
The injections also include Glycine, which helps with muscle wasting, and we can customize the dose weekly to ensure you are receiving the best outcome.
Monitoring:
Ongoing support is a key part of your success. Throughout the program, we’ll monitor your progress through regular check-ins, adjust your dosage if needed, and help you manage any mild side effects that may arise. You’ll have a dedicated team to guide you, answer questions, and make sure your treatment stays safe and effective.
Maintenance:
After you’ve reached your target weight, we’ll help you shift into a maintenance phase that promotes long-term stability. This may include continued lifestyle coaching, periodic follow-ups, and access to our team whenever you need support. Our goal is not just to help you lose weight—but to help you keep it off and feel great doing it.
Who is a Good Candidate?
This type of weight loss program may be a great fit for you if you’ve had difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone and are looking for a safe, medically supervised solution. It’s designed for individuals who want a structured, science-backed approach rather than short-term fixes.
During your consultation, we’ll carefully review your medical history to ensure this treatment is safe and appropriate. In general, medical weight loss may not be suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, or for individuals with a history of certain thyroid conditions (such as medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2), pancreatitis, or significant kidney or liver disease. We’ll walk through all of this together to ensure your safety and comfort every step of the way.
